It’s an interesting development – because last Monday, Robert Preston at the BBC reported very early in the morning that London employees had been sent home. Maybe they were sent home with their bonuses?

MF Global’s bankruptcy was announced at around 10:30 a.m. EST last Monday – that was 2:30 p.m. London time. (England is usually five hours ahead of the US – but their daylight savings time occurs one week before the US, so London was only four hours ahead last Monday.)
